Official Sony A7 or A7r discussion thread

[albertri]

i made a quick comparison with my other camear, and if you want a plastic/glass screen protector immediately, can get the GGS one for 5D3.

will swing over some known shop over the weekend and hope to get GGS hard screen protector with same size as A7/x

A7R have already won Popular Photography's Camera of the Year award...now that was fast!

No need to cut lah. If you are not looking specifically for the Sony semi hard screen protector (personally dont like it as it adds a little thickness), there are perfectly matching LCD protectors that is exactly the right size of A7 screen.

Personally i prefer this type (like phone/pda screen protector) than those semi hard ones.

last time I even resort to hp shop they cut screen protector for me

Personally I would never buy a glass screen protector. Saw already scattered glass protectors damaging the polycarbonate [screens] under it.

Other good screen protector brands:

No.1 is Df? Wow

 

[vibranze]

Does anyone know if A7/R have the lens registration feature to register a manual lens? If not, how do you guys do a query from LR, any tips or tricks here? Thanks.

Have you tried searching in Rakuten?

Yup and the α7K, α7R and α7 are on spot 24, 42 and 62, respectively (2013/11/29 ～ 2013/12/05). No wonder all the α7 stuff is in stock everywhere in Japan. Both Df kits are sold out in many places in Japan.

 

[ZoomZ]

I think Japanese photographers always like the classic cameras.

Df will be a really attractive camera as it has the really classic camera body yet with a superb full frame sensor with really good low light sensitivity at 16mp which is more than sufficient for most users.

If they have also pushed out a Df-2 using the D800E sensor instead, i think the impact to A7 and A7R sales will be greater.

Not complaining about A7 and A7R, as it is already top of the range. Just that for the Nikon fans and those who love classic cameras, Df is a wonder choice. This is similar trend following Fuji successful sale of their X100 classic style camera.

You can't cuz the manual lenses have no electronics to be registered

I think he means a manual registration like the GXR A12 M-module. Anyway, the answer would be no.

But Fuji have this features where I can manually set my Samyang FE or other MF lens focal length so it get recognized in LR.

So how do you guys know which MF lens you used in LR? By keyword tagging?

Cheers.

As I already said, you can't with Sony. They are too awesome for childish features like that. You have to memorise it or write it down. Sony's motto has always been why make it easy if you can have it complicated.
